Saint Vladimir Cathedral
is one of the most beautiful temples in Kiev. It was built in the 19th
century to commemorate the 900th anniversary of Russian baptizing. Russian
Emperor Nicolas I himself approved the project of the cathedral and ordered
to collect money all over Russia. By 1859 more than 100,000 rubles were
donated by people of different regions of the country. Kievo-Pecherskaya
Lavra donated one million bricks for the cathedral construction. |

Petersburg architect Strom and Kiev eparchy architect Sparro. Later the project was completed by architect Beretti. The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Prince Vladimir, who baptized Russia and made Christianity official state religion. Interiors and exteriors of the cathedral are designed in Old Byzantine style, which makes the cathedral similar to temples of Old Russia in the times of Saint Prince Vladimir. The cathedral topped with seven domes is 49 meters high. The door of the cathedral decorated with relieves is a masterpiece. Relieves depict Princess Olga, who was the first one in Russia to adopt Christianity, and her grandson prince Vladimir, who baptized Russia. Saint Vladimir Cathedral was put up in 1862-1896. In 1896 it was solemnly
consecrated at presence of Emperor Nicolas II and his wife Alexandra Fyodorovna.
